One advantage of the RFID, is that you can modify the ticket while using it. This is actually what made Montreal choose that solution. There's no internet connection to validate the tickets, they just update the ticket to say they are used.

I would have said that make it much more resilient, but I have seen so many buses that couldn't accept fares... I'm not so sure if it's the case.

Are you saying that's the risk of providing the website URL? Or that it's the risk of the HIBP?

Because he does provide the email and the leak name... He even provide indirectly where to download it from his blogpost.

Providing the website won't give more dangerous information, that's exactly what he usually does when it's not a stuffing list, he say where the password come from (Linkedin, Facebook, etc...).

He even pay for the 3D graphics! Essentially he is making ad money, boost his subscribers counts and he is marketing his product sold on the Unity Store.

> And yet his older CJS versions get weekly downloads that are magnitudes higher than the newer ESM versions.

You write this as if that mattered...

Should he only works on stuff that gets more download? For what reasons? He works on what he wants to works on, it's amazing and he is lucky to be able to do it.

It's normal to be sad to have lost someone that was working on something you needed, but anything else is just entitlement.

Don't know for your provider, but on Gmail, I click on Spam and there are all there. It's not censorship, it's sorting. I usually go see them once a month, just in case something got badly sorted (it's also quite entertaining to see the scams attempts).

In what world is it censorship to choose to read something or not too? It may be censorship for sure that something is blocked (and still can be argued upon), but choosing not to read crap is not censorship, just like choosing not to read every scientific papers in the world is not censorship…

A camera can easily catch someone with an hammer, it's kind of much harder to go one by one to destroy them that way and it's also probably much more dangerous to try to break something connected to the power lines like that.

This on the other hand is quick, can be done away from the meter, away from cameras, and can reach many meter at the same time. Considering the few terrorist acts that have been done to electricity distributions points, it does seems like a good ways for them to do a big impact easily, with the right antenna and amplifier.. you could do quite a bit of damage.

Their AOT solution was clearly too complex for some potential clients, that seems like the real reason they rewrote it all, support for higher Java version is mostly a neat benefit (though Java 9 did still support Applet from my understanding, just deprecated).

At first glance it seems to only support bitmap? I means it does seems great, but I believe a big part of Flash is the vectorial format, it's not baked into the image, and it does look "good" in many resolutions. You can iterate quickly that way.

We all saw the charts showing the number of employees if the past few years and that they just laid off the over hiring... No one remember during that time how we were lacking employees too? I know at my job which is not a sexy one, we were struggling to find new hire. We are still hiring... just as much as before.

That's where they are going. To the place that wanted them in the first place. All theses peoples didn't appear out of thin air (though for sure the amazing pay did pushed some to go to "bootcamp" or whatever, but that's been true for the past decade). It's the normal amount of workers that would have been hired otherwise.

In any other field, sure maybe there could be more workers than demands, but in tech, placement has been good and it won't change in a few years (as it takes a few years of school).

The only thing that may change is the pay expectation of theses workers, as the one that did the laid off are the one that were paying a pretty penny for theses jobs.

You can probably say something similar for any form of entertainment. You can always gain something from it (and that's excluding the benefit of doing something you enjoy).

Is this actually confirmed as it doesn't even make sense.

That page mention a free tier of up to 250 requests, it only mentions search, and even though we can't see the content easily, Web Archive is saying that page has been there for the past 5 years... so is that really the future price? Or is it for a Search API that has been priced like that for a long time?

I means the world isn't binary, obviously there's risk in everything.

There's not much incentive to jack prices up 10x, it's their revenue, by doing so they will probably lose some. There's incentive though to not offer something for free, as this is literally losing you cash. You never know all the facts though, Google Maps did increase the API cost quite a bit, so it can always happen, but when it's free, you do know some of the facts... and it's not in your favor.

So yes, still some risk, but not at all the same amount of risk.
